James 3:14

The Wisdom That Comes Down From Above

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his works are from meekness because of wisdom. ¹⁴ But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not a wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish.
